Kohlu: Responding to the recent surge in chicken prices within the district, Deputy Commissioner Aqeel Karim Baloch has mandated an immediate price reduction following a meeting with local dealers. The directive aims to address affordability and ensure fair pricing for consumers in the area.
According to Directorate General Public Relation – Govt of Balochistan, Deputy Commissioner Aqeel Karim Baloch expressed a strict no-tolerance policy towards the unjustified increase in chicken prices during a meeting held yesterday.
